Postage delays

[alina6]

PA was really bad around the holidays but it seems to have picked up since 1/1.

I make memory quilts and had a client send me her clothing on Dec. 1st. The package still has not arrived and it has dropped off of tracking and disappeared. I feel awful for her. No one is the blame, but this poor womans shirts are out there somewhere and usually it is the memorys of a loved one. I hope it arrives eventually and I can make the item for her.

The postal service told me (and her) that they have packages just sitting in warehouses that they cant get to deliver. It is frustrating at best.

We have had this happen with 2 packages. The company says that the system is not updating because of covid. I am not stupid. The packages are sitting there not moving. The system updates automatically when the packages are scanned.  At least it is not just me.  I am seriously thinking of ordering something else today.  I am suppose to get 2 day delivery but with the weekend probably won't get until Monday since UPS does not run on the weekend.

I finally got my clients clothing after 3 weeks, and had another package take 2 weeks. My parents sent us a Christmas card (not even a package) 3 weeks ago and it still isnt here. ugh

Wow, I am glad we pay almost all our bills by auto pay. That could really result in a lot of fees and maybe shut offs. Its now been a month since my parents since their Christmas Card with our gift in it. I wonder if we will ever actually get it?

I have used "Informed Delivery" for years, but Utilized it's undelivered option this week.  Something from SS showed in the images but never arrived so tagged it.  It only took one day and it was "redelivered" all is well.

It has a great tracking option too for packages, and text notifications so you can be home when the package arrives.

Never heard of.  Maybe I'll try this.

I just today got a xmas card that was post marked 12/23/20 and got one last week that was around the same time.

All my packages came on time and some arrived earlier than promised.

Have noticed delays in the mail including recently into January. I am more relaxed about it as I know that the USPS is working their hardest and hopefully it will become better soon.

I would pay it online.

Working their hardest is unacceptable and not true. It should not take 3 weeks for a letter or package to go across town.  I don't know what the problem is but I know with other carriers like FedEx they just flat out do not care. They throw stuff every where. Our delivery drivers throw it out in the yard near the mailbox.

I have been charged a late fee on one of my bills because it took nearly a month for my payment to arrive via the mail.
